(Estherville)--A grand opening was held Tuesday for the new addition to the Emmet County Courthouse. A groundbreaking for the project was held on April 29, 2025 and the Emmet County Board of Supervisors approved the substantial completion of the project last month. Supervisor Jeff Quastad says the addition was needed to make the building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Quastad outlines some of the features of the new addition.
He says the new addition will enable the courthouse to better serve the citizens of Emmet County.
Most of the cost of the addition was covered by $1.2 million dollars the county received from the Federal American Recovery Plan Act. The board also allocated $175,000 in LOSST Funds for the project.
